Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
7 0

Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

During the combustion of 2.00 g of coal, the temperature of 500 g of water inside the calorimeter increased from 25.0°c to 43.7°
pantera1 [17]
Answer is: 39,083kJ.
m(coal) = 2,00g.
m(water) = 500g.
ΔT = 43,7°C - 25°C = 18,7°C, <span>difference at temperatures.</span>
c(water) = 4,18 J/g·°C, <span>specific heat of water
</span>Q = m(water)·ΔT·c(water), heat of reaction.
Q = 500g·18,7°C·4,18J/g·°C.
Q = 39083J = 39,083kJ.

Mercury has an atomic mass of 200.59 amu. calculate the mass of 3.0 x 10^10 atoms
Licemer1 [7]
To determine mass of the given number of atoms of mercury, we need a factor that would relate the number of atoms to number of moles. In this case, we use the Avogadro's number. It is a <span>number that represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. The number of units could be atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. To convert into mass, we use the given amu of mercury since it is equal to grams per mole. We calculate as follows:

</span>3.0 x 10^10 atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms ) ( 200.59 g / 1 mol ) = 9.99x10^-12 g Hg

Pick the correct statement for the following isotope: a. 42Ca 42 is the mass number and 20 is the atomic number. b. 42 is the nu
kramer

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To label an element correctly using a combination of the symbol, mass number and atomic number furnishes some important information about the element.

We can obtain these information from the element provided that correct labeling of the element is presented. Firstly, after writing the symbol of the element, the atomic number is placed as a subscript on the left while the mass number of the atomic mass is placed as a superscript on the same left.

Looking at the question asked, we have the element symbol in the correct position as Ca, with 42 also in the correct position which is the mass number. The third number which is 20 is thus the atomic number of the element.
